CDI New Yarmouth Jamaica 2005
People already deep into Jamaican funk are the crowd here. This New Yarmouth 2005 is a full-on ester bomb: glue, varnish, overripe mango and pineapple, with cookie dough and marzipan underneath. Several tasters note it opens gorgeous on the nose but loses steam on the palate, turning spicy and slightly bitter. At 55% it drinks at a comfortable strength for the intensity.
The community says- Intense ester nose
- Overripe tropical fruit
- But: Fades on palate

The look inside the bottle
How does CDI New Yarmouth Jamaica 2005 taste?
Aggregated from 32 community reviews.
Funky New Yarmouth ester bomb, fades late Loved by high-ester fans for its glue-and-tropical-fruit New Yarmouth nose. The common gripe: it fades fast on the palate and a light astringency shows up late.

Review by Benoit Mahe
It reminds me a bit of the Hampden Kill Devil 2007. Nice representative of these continental Jamaicans, very pleasant and to which one can only reproach a slight lack of texture. Really pleasant.
Review by Thunderbird
Ein klassischer New Yarmouth mit herrlich fruchtig frischer Esternase und dem dazugehörigen Keksteig, sowie Marzipan. Am Gaumen anfangs genauso, verliert dann jedoch schnell seine Fruchtigkeit und wechselt auf die würzige Seite. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Eine weiterer sehr guter NY.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Sehr schöner NY 2005. Überreife Mango und herzhafte Fleischnoten wechseln sich ab. Klingt schwer und unsexy, ist aber das Gegenteil. Geil.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Bis heute einer meiner Lieblings New Yarmouths wo ich es sehr bereue damals keine Flaschen gekauft zu haben. Flüssiger keksteig, tropisches Obst, eine geballte Ladung Ester und einfach nur über lecker!
Review by Daniel
Nose: Jamaica! Ester, varnish and tropical fruit in glorious intensity. Baking spices like cinnamon can also be heard.Palate: sour attack, glue and fruit immediately. Then mild wood flavor.Finish: slowly smoky notes and the honey emerge. Verdict: Scores mainly for its wonderfully intense and typical Jamaican nose. Unfortunately, it quickly runs out of breath on the palate, which costs points.
Review by Basti
An der Nase die typischen New Yarmouth High Ester Marker mit der markanten Keksteig-Note, Klebstoff, Nagellack und trop. Früchten. Relativ wenig fruchtige Note und mehr Klebstoff, Nagellack und würzige Noten am Gaumen. Gefällt mir insgesamt sehr gut.
Review by Joachim Guger
In the nose the full load of plastic, black olives and very fruity (ripe mango). With a little water comes chocolate.In the mouth then very herbaceous, fleshy notes appear a la TECA 2003 (help!!!!).Well done, but not mine.
Review by Oliver
Not quite as good as the 13-year-old New Yarmouth
